Boden cuts £61 off 'simply stunning' summer midi dress ahead of UK heatwave
Get ready for warm summer weather with the massive Boden sale. Parts of the UK are set to be hit by another mini heatwave next week. With temperatures reportedly soaring to 27C, many of us will be planning days outside. That possibly means updating the wardrobe for summer. Fortunately, fashion retailer Boden is running a massive sale across new season must-haves in time for sunny weather and balmy weekends. One item that has caught our eye is the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress that has been dropped from £136 to £74.80, saving shoppers over £61 off the RRP. Hailed as "simply stunning", we think it's perfect for summer weddings, BBQ's and picnics in the park. Crafted from a flowy, breathable material, this midi dress features a fit-and-flare design and a tie-belt at the waist that offers a "flattering" effect on the body. Meanwhile, its "super-swishable skirt" adds a touch movement and drama to the overall look. The all-over multi-coloured means it is a statement wardrobe item, while a few other sought-after features include handy side pockets, alongside full lining to ensure it doesn't look too sheer or see-through. Boden's Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress £136 £74.80 Boden Buy here Product Description Designed in petite and regular lengthways, the Bria Midi Dress is available to buy in sizes four through to 20, although Boden has advised it is "one to watch", meaning it's pretty popular with shoppers. Prefer longer sleeves? Then we have spotted this equally vibrant Wh ite Tropical Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress over at New Look for a touch cheaper at £36.99. For something a touch more muted, yet no less stylish, there is this Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Summer Dress for £49 from Next that is available in three other colours. For the fashion fans keen to take advantage of Boden's discount on the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, it's worth knowing that shoppers have been hailing it in reviews as "simply stunning" and "extremely comfortable." One five-star review read: "This dress is simply stunning. I am five foot 2 and the regular length falls just right for me. It's extremely comfortable, the print is bright and it fits perfectly. This may be the best dress I have ever had. Fashion deal of the week In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices. Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon. With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis. The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet. Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air". Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway. With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable". One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." Purchase the STQ Women's Slip On Trainers from £30.99 on Amazon here. Thank you Boden for not making it too low cut and for proper sleeves! I can't fault it- the fabric is gorgeous and I am going to wear it for my graduation at UCL in May." A second eager fan wrote: "This dress is beautiful! It's well made and super colorful. It's a perfect dress for either a casual or dressy event in the summer. I love it!" Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

While someone else added: "I can't tell you just how beautiful this dress actually is the fabric is lovely soft cotton and the cut is superb. When it arrived and I tried it on it felt so lovely to wear and so flattering and it has pockets. Can't wait to wear this on my next cruise." Not everyone found the dress suited their style, as one shopper said: "The colours and print on this dress are very vibrant and beautiful, the quality feels good, and it could be worn with accessories in a wide range of colours. "However, although the dress fitted me, it did not suit me at all, but made my hips look big, and gave me a very 'matronly' look, which was not good. Sadly, I have returned the dress." Although, another shopper said in return: "Classy! Love the fit and the fabric! True to size." here.

Newly opened Din Fried Chicken draws buzz with crispy Malay-style flavours
As I pondered what to have for lunch, a Facebook post with over 300 likes caught my eye — a new stall at the hawker centre near our office, DFC (Din Fried Chicken). Din Fried Chicken - exterior of stall Curious, I braved the sweltering heat and speed-walked my way over to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market & Hawker Centre at around noon on a Wednesday. I was even lucky enough to catch the owner, Din, while the stall was empty. Although soft-spoken, he kindly shared with me that the stall had been open for about a month, mainly selling ayam goreng, which is Indonesian-Malaysian style fried chicken. As lunch hour rolled around, more people started to queue up (call me a trendsetter or something), so I'd say business is picking up nicely for him. Din shared that he wanted to focus on fried chicken as it is something 'easy' that many people like. You know what, fair enough. What's not to love about crispy, juicy chicken? Their menu, displayed just below the signboard, is succinct and to the point. It features their signature fried chicken, various curry puffs, nasi lemak and mee soto. Din Fried Chicken - overview of food If only I had a little more cash on me, I would've ordered Din Fried Chicken's Nasi Lemak (S$4.50). Alas, as the average Gen-Z who is over-reliant on Paynow, I could only dabao a Quarter Chicken (S$3) and one Sardine Puff (S$1) back to the office. Din Fried Chicken - quarter chicken Please don't be fooled by the size of the chicken in this picture, as it was super meaty and substantial! The taste of the chicken meat itself was so-so, slightly dry in the way most chicken breasts are. What stood out to me here was the skin. Albeit thin, it was packed with a well-seasoned, deliciously salty flavour that oozed out as I took a big bite into the chicken. I liked that they didn't use the skin to cover up the chicken, instead elevating it as a whole. In the end, I couldn't finish the chicken, so I just nibbled around the surface to get as much of that oily, crisp skin. Din Fried Chicken - sardine puff Next up was, in my opinion, an underrated snack: the sardine puff. However, this one wasn't quite what I expected. The second it landed on my tongue, I could feel the tingling spice spreading over my mouth. Although not unwelcome, it surprised me for sure. Thankfully, the slightly sweet afternote balanced it out. There was a mixture of onions and sardines in the filling, topped off with a slice of egg. Frankly speaking, the ratio of onion to sardine was quite off, with a lot less sardine than what one would assume a sardine puff would contain. Din definitely knows what he's doing with his fried chicken but what about his other dishes? I guess it'll take me another trip to Din Fried Chicken to find out. P.S. They do not accept cashless payment (at the time of writing). Please don't be like me— bring cash!

Amber Rose shares firsthand experience of Diddy's White Parties
Amber Rose recently addressed her experiences attending Sean 'Diddy' Combs' famous White Parties since 2009, refuting claims of 'freak-offs' at the events. In an appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast, the 41-year-old model stated that she attended various iterations of the parties, including the after-parties, but never witnessed anything related to the alleged sex performances. Rose explained that Combs was always present at the parties, enjoying his Ciroc and hosting the events, and suggested that if any 'freak-offs' occurred, they likely took place on separate days, outside of the public parties she attended. She added, 'If these freak-offs are happening, it's on a completely different day than the actual Puff parties.' However, Rose did not shy away from condemning Combs for his past behavior. She referred to the infamous 2016 video in which Combs appeared to assault his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway. Rose expressed strong support for Ventura, labeling Combs an 'abuser' and referencing the ongoing legal issues surrounding him. Combs has been facing serious charges, including sexual trafficking, racketeering, and abuse, and was denied bail multiple times following his arrest. While Rose expressed uncertainty about the truth of some internet rumors, including the use of drugs in baby oil at the parties, she emphasized that any abuse was unacceptable. She also discussed her conversations with rapper Ray J, who confirmed that neither of them had been invited to any of the alleged 'freak-offs,' despite attending multiple parties. Rose clarified her relationship with Combs, saying they were not close friends but that she was regularly invited to his parties.

These Are The Dumbest Car Crashes You've Ever Seen
Earlier this week we asked you to tell us the dumbest car crashes you have ever seen. It seems like y'all have seen no shortage of inattentive folks making stupid mistakes behind the wheel, since there were plenty of answers. I wish I could add a "womp womp" sound effect to these comments because most of the crashes you have witnessed are impressively dumb and they deserve the theatrics. I appreciate that there were no graphic stories that involved gore or anything, just cringeworthy mistakes that led to some funny accidents. I lost a bit of faith in humanity after reading through your answers, but they also increased my understanding of the importance of defensive driving. When you're out there on the roads, keep checking your mirrors and for Pete's sake please remain focused on the task at hand, which is driving, to be clear. Not ogling some cuties crossing the street or lookie-looing at a fender bender while you cause one of your own. The old adage applies here almost better than anywhere else; stay in your lane. These are the dumbest car crashes you have ever seen, but if you think you've seen dumber feel free to drop the story in the comments. Read more: Alleged Horse-And-Buggy Thief In Way More Trouble Than If She Had Just Stolen A Car Many years ago before EZpass was a thing and we all had to head for the toll booths, saw a Volvo and a Subaru wedged into the same booth (neither willing to give the other a go). One car had a PEACE bumper sticker and the other a similar COEXIST or the like. Submitted by: Not me Back in the 80's, when I was in high school, my good buddy Steve had an old Ford Maverick that would sometimes just die at inopportune moments. We called it Puff the Tragic Wagon. We'd sing "Puff the tragic wagon lived at Steve's..." That was as far as we got. Anyway, one day, we were all in Puff headed out of school for lunch. It died on Grandview Blvd, and Steve steered it into the center turn lane to try and restart it. A brand new IROC Z drove past us loaded with exactly the kind of high school guys you're imagining driving an IROC Z in the 80's. As they went past us, they were all yelling at us and mocking us for being stuck in stalled Puff. They were ALL looking at us. Including the driver. Then they rear ended a Cadillac. Hard enough that a cloud of steam burst out from the radiator. At that moment, Puff sprang back to life, and we drove slowly past them (Steve, then and now, drove like a Granny), making eye contact the whole time. Lunch was especially tasty that day... Submitted by: Stillnotatony About 6 years ago, I watched someone cause a 5 car accident because they were looking at their phone. The driver was glued to their phone and plowed their late model Caravan into the back of a CR-V at probably 45 MPH, which then cause an accordion effect into three other cars. Three ambulances had to be called and the Caravan driver had a broken nose and some other facial damage because the airbag shoved her hand and phone right into her face. Sweet karma if you ask me. Submitted by: Fiji ST My first job was a supermarket cashier - place had a pretty normal setup, row of tills in front of a giant window overlooking the typical suburban parking lot. One night, a little before close, I look out and see a '99ish Grand Am on its roof in the otherwise empty lot. I still have no idea how it happened, and I didn't hear anything. So much for wide-track handling. Submitted by: Maymar A few years ago I was going to lunch with coworkers, as we pulled into the lot we saw two cars backing out directly across from each other. I said to my friend who was driving to honk, they don't see each other. She honked, both cars stopped, assessed their surroundings (presumably) and then they both continued to back up for a low speed rear end to rear end crash, parking lot fender bender. Both crossover SUVs, this was several years ago, probably didn't have backup cameras, not that that is an excuse. Submitted by: Greg Lemon Dave Barry once wrote about an incident in heavy gridlock: one driver wanted to change lanes, the other guy did not want to cooperate. Neither alpha wanted to back down. So, driving at maybe one mile per hour, the two cars touched and kept moving forward, grinding bumpers, then quarter panels, then entire sides of their cars. It was the slowest crash in history... but both drivers had the satisfaction of knowing he did not back down. Submitted by: Jason Shepherd A car had stopped on the shoulder of the road. As another car traveling down the roadway approached from behind the stopped car, the stopped car moved forward slightly as it was going to enter the roadway after the approaching car passed. The driver of the approaching car thought that the car on the shoulder was about to pull out In front of him. He panicked, locked up his brakes, and slid off the road smashing into the parked car. Submitted by: YetAnotherDavid I was a deputy sheriff working a fender-bender on a section of a four-lane divided highway. The road was straight then curved toward the lanes I was in. I glanced at a car in the opposite lane coming toward me and the driver was looking at the accident scene. I saw her keep staring as her car went off the right side of the road and over an embankment. She never looked at where she was going and never turned into the curve. She wasn't injured besides a few bumps but the car was totaled. Submitted by: TeamJay Following a 90's Explorer, entering a freeway construction zone funneling to one lane, 50mph. Suddenly Explorer swerved right and was up on 2 wheel, BAM, just like that, instant Thrill Show. One second then down it comes probably from braking steering left to the median. Median is soft gravel and strongly banked. Straddled the pavement and gravel, tried to steer back on the road. Rear end stepped to the left , Explorer rolled sideways down embankment 1 and a half times ending on roof well into the median. It was slow and like a cartoon . *He swerved because traffic cone was well into the road he hadn't seen it till, Thrill Show. Submitted by: Halfkidding early 2010s, wife was driving around by herself in this strange neighborhood, no GPS or anything, just trying to figure out where to go by reading street signs. thought she was cruising down a regular road, but it turned out to be an access ramp to a building garage. she didn't see it coming at all, so she didn't even hit the brakes. scraped the bottom of our '94 Renault Clio 1.9 D pretty bad/hard, so much so that the gear shift got stuck for a couple of minutes! Thankfully, she didn't get hurt. the gear shift also eventually freed up and the car ended up driving just fine with no damage not even a cracked oil pan or any leaks! Submitted by: SoCal I had to attend a traffic school class to dismiss a ticket, and when the instructor gave us a lunch break I walked out into the parking lot to see one of the students back up into another student's car. When I told the instructor about it, he just looked deeply sad. Submitted by: Matt Emm Tim Horton's drive thru. Car in front me placed order at the speaker and while still looking at the display, pulled forward rapidly into a waiting Ambulance. Ambulance bumper went thought front of car and was impact was hard enough to trigger the airbags. Submitted by: Skylrw After saving madly, I bought my first, dream car as a teen: a then-decade old BMW 328i. I hadn't owned the car for a year when I took a drive to pick some friends. After cresting a hill, I began slowing down two girls were walking on the shoulder of the quite narrow road. The guy driving behind me stared at them and crashed into me. Having swerved at the last minute but still making impact, he wrote my car off. It was his third accident, and he openly told the cops at the scene he crashed because he was looking at the girls. I still miss that car. Submitted by: Dano In a parking garage in irvine california I had a guy as I was stationary in traffic going up a parking level back very gently into the rear quarter of my BRIGHT RED 70s 911, wonder why he wasn't moving, go forward then do it again. so recap, he backed into my car twice as me and the car behind me were honking and I was hitting his car since his rear bumper was next to my window. you might ask, was this a old car with bad sightlines and no reverse cam? nope it was a 2021 BMW x1, equipped with back up cam...... he paid 4k in damages Submitted by: rickymollinedo In the summer of 2004, my father and I found ourselves stranded in South-Eastern Ohio, after the clutch failed in my Mazda MX-3. We found an independent garage that could change the clutch (no one else could touch it on short notice). While standing outside, watching the traffic, I noticed a cop car waiting at a red light and an old guy in a Buick behind him... The Buick was creeping forward really slowly. It's not stopping... he HIT THE COP CAR! Lights go on and the cop gets out to talk to the guy. He's trying to stay composed while talking to the old man, and he sees us watching... trying not to laugh. He told us later, that the old guy thought the cop backed into him. Fortunately, no damage. It was a good laugh on an otherwise trying weekend. I took pictures! Submitted by: James Whitaker When we were teenagers we were walking past an intersection. A woman stopped at a stop sign and a full length bright yellow school bus was turning left into her opposing lane. She accelerated right into the side of the bus, then proceeded to get out of her car and say 'oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you'. She failed to see a full size bright yellow school bus taking up her entire view. Submitted by: Daniel Read the original article on Jalopnik.
